I remember Rafa had over $30K in his motor build up and was looking at 650-700rwhp. Even if I bought the crate engine directly from FRPP for their price AND added the aftermarket S/C, I would still be in for far less than $30K AND have more HP potential. Tell me where my thinking is flawed.
rafa also had a ford gt block that has to be altered for the wet sump oil pump along with many other things
